Can I place this in my basement and run multiple lines to different sinks throughout my house? If so, will I need something to boost the pressure?

I have installed mine in the basement with multiple lines and had no problems. I would get a bigger tank I bought the 20 gal , so I have 23 gallons of water on hand . You will need that for frig, ice, cooking ,ect .

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank.Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you. In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps.

Not in our home. I wouldn't worry. It sounds like you have air being sucked into the line...check your plumbing connections.

This is for the supply line from your house to your appliance. Not for use with pressure. Street water pressure only. Do not use this on the pressure side of a pressure washer.

Shouldn't be a problem. The pressure washer will boost the pressue to the needed levels...in fact, that is what they are designed to do.

I have this pump and tank. I have a diagonal lift of 20 feet. it works very well. I push 4 faucets on the back side of my home. I have good pressure when using 2 of the faucets at a time. the pump turns on frequently but the pressure has been good. I have the unit under a workbench and love the small space it requires.

I have had this model for about 3 months and my pressure is high ( I do have a water pressure reducing valve in my line), my sink is standard depth and I do get splashing when the water is turned on. I do think it would work with low pressure.

We bought this pump for our utility sink in the basement. It works well for us, pumping up the pipe 8' in height. You may want to check the manufacturer's specs if further information is needed. Sorry I could not provide further information.

Yes you can I use it for the basement shower and sink . Goes into a pit where it discharges 6 foot up to drain very fast . No problem

Probably yes, but this is a pump, why you would want to connect it to the sink.Just connect your water source directly to the feidge then

Nope this would go on the pressure side of the pump. Order would be fresh water tank, then pump, then accumulator, then the rest of the plumbing system. This accumulator will act as a shock absorber for the water pressure in the system. If you need more detail let me know.

Depends on conditions and what you need it to do. I have 2 in the basement for utility/laundry/ and bathroom. I live in a dry climate but have fish tanks and a roommate who takes long showers. Water would just sit on the walls. Its much better now but couldn't imagine it working that well in a humid climate or a very wet situation.

In my use of the pump, I have had the pump within a few feet vertical from the surface of the water. Priming and pumping under these conditions has been successful. Trying to prime and run the pump with 5 to 8 feet above the water surface may work ok, but you will simply need to try it. It would be better to set the pump on something in the basement (unless the water is too deep to do this) and then run the outlet hose out the window. Good luck. In general, I have found both the 3 and 4 inch pumps to be reliable and fairly easy to prime.Wally Gwynn

In the lower states it can, but in the northern states, multiple simultaneous users, it will be overloaded. If you can afford a 3,700 square foot home, then you can place a unit in each appropriate demand zone and be very glad you did. I love mine, live in KY, get great supply when the water is above 60 degrees, and then it slows the flow as the temperature drops. I have dishwasher, washing machine, garden tube, 2 showers, 3 sinks and 4 people. It is better than great in the summer, okay spring and fall, and we are conservative in the winter.

I don't think so, this is a static system, I would think that the additional pressure would cause leaks.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

Depending on the size of your house and amount of water required, you may need a pressure tank. I actually use a 2 HP pump and a tank for my house.

while I can't give you a number I have in basement and connect to sink and fridge on ground level. works OK however previously had a FloJet pump which had a bit more pressure (output)at sink.
